jinni or jinnee also djinni
or djinny (jîn´ê, jî-nê´) noun
plural jinn also djinn (jîn)
In Moslem legend, a spirit
capable of assuming human or animal form and exercising supernatural
influence over people.
[Arabic jinnì.]
The Arabic word jinn, which means "spirit"", is neutral--some of the jinni serve Allah, while others do not. The Arabs believed the jinni often took the form of ostriches, or rode them. Dalila, Samson's treacherous mistress, rode and ostrich.
There are five orders of genies: the Marid (the most powerful), the Afrit, the Shaitan, the Jinn, and the Jann (the least powerful).
Jinni can do good or evil, are mischievous and
enjoy punishing humans for wrongs done them, even unintentionally. Thus
accidents and diseases are considered to be their work. They are composed
of fire or air and they can assume both animal and human form. They exist
in air, in flame, under the earth and in inanimate objects, such as rocks,
trees and ruins. In the stories of the "Thousand and One Nights" a jinn
often inhabits an old, battered oil lamp. After rubbing the lamp three
times, it will appear and grants the holder of the lamp three wishes. A
fourth wish will undo the previous three.

use of entheogenic,
consciousness-enhancing plants and drugs presents a direct and powerful
challenge to any system that seeks to spoon-feed the masses with false
ideals of nationalism, racism, sexism or pre-digested religion, and this
is precisely the reason they have been criminalized. One does not go back
to being led around by the nose once the fullness of one's humanity is
realized, nor to eating pap once the full pleasures of eating are learned;
besides, we need roughage or we fill up with our own waste. Expanded consciousness
is one genie that can't be put back in the bottle and we're better off
for it.
The cat is out of the bag. Pandora's box lies open.

Elevator
operators close doors in his face. Mothers never bother to wait up for
the daughters he dates. George is a creature of humble habits and tame dreams.
He's an ordinary man, Mr. Hanley, but at this moment the accidental possessor
of a very special gift, the kind of gift that measures men against their
dreams, the kind of gift most of us might ask for first and possibly regret
to the last, if we, like Mr. George P. Hanley, were about to plunge head-first
and unaware into our own personal Twilight Zone."
George P. Hanley buys
a lamp for a secretary's birthday at work. After another co-worker gives
her a present of lingerie, George decides to keep the lamp. Later at home,
he tries to shine it, and out comes a genie. He says George can have one
wish. George fantasizes several situations involving various wishes, and
they all end in disaster. He finally decides what he wants his wish to
be. Later, a bum finds the lamp and rubs it. A genie appears, and it's
George!
"Mr. George P. Hanley. Former vocation: jerk. Present vocation: genie. George P. Hanley, a most ordinary man whom life treated without deference, honor or success, but a man wise enough to decide on a most extraordinary wish that makes him the contented, permanent master of his own altruistic Twilight Zone."
